Celtic midfielder Ewan Henderson has signed a new three-and-a-half year contract to keep him at the club until at least the summer of 2022.
The 18-year-old midfielder made his second appearance for Brendan Rodgers' side against St Mirren last week, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Christie with 20 minutes to go of the 4-0 victory.
Henderson had a positive influence on the game, setting up Timothy Weah with a through ball to score the Hoops' fourth goal of the night.
"It was great to feature in the matchday squad again against St Mirren," he told Celtic View.
"I didn't know if I'd get on, and it was very much a case of just taking it as it comes and seizing my opportunity if it came along.
"I was hoping to get the chance, I got the chance, and it was really good. It was a really good night all-in.

"At this stage, I'm just taking everything day-by-day. I'll continue to work hard, and I'll try my best to get chances in the first team. If I can get them, then I'll take them. All I want to do is try my best.
"It's really good, looking at players like Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Ryan Christie and Scott Sinclair. I look at how they play, and learn from them. They've done so much in their careers, they've played at the highest level, so it's great to look at how they play and learn from what they do.
"Looking at the players who've come through the Academy and are now in the first team, it's really inspiring.
"They've all done incredibly well and they're great role-models for every young boy that's also come through the Academy to look up to. It's really good that they're there, and helps us keep focused.
"It's my job now to get the head down again, work hard and hopefully take more chances as they come."
